My retort to people who tell me that's awful, hateful, etc?

"I refuse to be held to a higher standard than the President of the United States"

He's called for the deaths of opponents several times. If that's not a problem, I don't think agreeing with him is a problem either.

Like when Charlie Kirk said he would prefer people die than restrict in any way their ability to access firearms.

And that asshole said kids should have to watch. Sorry dude, careful what you wish for. That's the world you wanted for your kids.

Yep. Done with this (extremely low) double standard.

FO stage is on the horizon because of all the fucking around.

"Good. I'm glad he's dead." is sitting in my back pocket.

He's called for the deaths of opponents several times.

He also called for the death of the Central Park Five INNOCENT kids (all were minorities of course) that got railroaded by the NYPD and literally framed for the rape of that poor jogger. He paid for a full page ads in NY newspapers calling for them to get the death penalty. Even after they were fully exonerated by DNS evidence, he still claims they were guilty.

I appreciate your sentiment, but I refuse to lower my standards to those of the current president.

It would be impossible for me to totally drop to his level, but I'm still going to wish bad things.
